I helped my dad's co-worker move into his new house this evening, and he took us out to some bar-b-que/fried chicken house. It was pretty good, but they gave me the most horrified look when I said I'm not fond of bbq. Apparently this is heresy in Texas.

Not that I know of. I know the tri-state area put out a warning fining people who got stuck on the highway or the like during the storm. My neighbors probably called the cops. Either way, I'm taking it court.

You want to call a lawyer over a $500 fine? There is no way that is worth your time.

As one who was born and raised there and now resides in Colorado, I can't say I've ever heard of this. Might I inquire as to what makes you think this?

I don't understand the question, and I won't respond to it.

Wait. Are you under the impression that I'm saying this is a real thing, and wasn't referring to that picture I had quoted?

There are precious few ways to succinctly describe just how wrong you are, but this God-awful opinion just isn't worth using one of them.

What exactly is "middle America"? I always hear about it but I've never actually bothered to learn what it is. I assume suburbia which is boring as hell.

I agree, if you're tripping balls and it looks like it's jumping on its own.

As it turns out, there are still sections of America that haven't yet been slathered over with concrete and air pollution. Here, you can find things that you probably thought only existed in picture books and fairy tales that you read as a child, such as "trees", "wildlife", and "trailer parks". This seemingly-mystical land is what we call middle America, and is not suburbia at all.

You live in Boulder, don't you?

I agree with this, more than you will ever know. But if you're talking open spaces, the Midwest is king. I hate cities usually, too, but New York City and Philadelphia are still really great places, imo.

And then you made a flamebait thread on the Lightning Returns board on GameFAQs to vent, didn't you? Don't think I don't see these things.

P.S.- What is the anime you've had in your signature for a while now? She looks like Chrome, but isn't.

You trolled a board for a future Worst Game of the Generation candidate? Why bother? Aren't the people who post their trolling themselves just by doing so? (And re: RPG series, I have derived little enough fun from Persona, Tales or Final Fantasy lately to rate Parasite Eve higher, even if it has probably one of the biggest biology fails ever as its plot engine.)

It's Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!. Pretty much the show of the season.

By looks alone... I'm guessing this anime season ain't too hot? Then again, I haven't watched new anime in a while. I tried to get hyped for Medaka Box but then remembered that it's one of precious few series that started as self-parody. Somehow, I think it remained there as a result, but at least was interesting once in a while.

I'm so disappointed and frustrated with Lee Strobel. Any income his books earn in the capacity of "educational content" is dishonest (or astonishly ill-informed, and it can be only one of these two) and undeserved.
